Actually, I think that Fred Anderson, Apple's CFO, basically said that. The iTMS is a trojan horse to get people to buy iPods and the iPod is a trojan horse to get people to buy Macs.
Actually, a 1.25GHz G4 does 13Mkey/sec. Now, I think that is a dual processor score. So each processor is doing 6.5Mkeys/sec. 2.8*2MKeys/sec = 5.6MKeys/sec. So the newer G4s are actually more efficient (remarkable considering the bus multipliers involved).
While that may be true, that has no bearing on the fact that AltiVec is very powerful and can be used for scientific applications. Blast scores here (pdf). Also, check out this article from O'Reilly.
The SSE2 unit on the P4 or the Opteron would have nearly the same performance and cost a whole heck of a lot less.
Uh, no. 2 years ago, my roommate and I were both running the distributed.net client. I have a 500 Mhz Powerbook G4 (100Mhz bus). He had a 1.4GHz P4 with rambus RAM. I got 4Million keys/sec. He got 2MKeys/sec.
So clock for clock, my machine was nearly 4 times faster.
Ya, you have to click like 50 links to get to the actual store.
Once you get there though, the discounts are realllllly nice. And the higher end you go, the better. Don't forget that you have to pay $100 to join ADC. Still, I think the discount on some models aproachs 20-25%.
Yes, but what if that track was of higher quality then the crap you get on Kazaa? What if you were guaranteed a fast download, a complete song, and no virii?
They probably aren't hosting it themselves. My site is (unfortunately) hosted on IIS, but I don't have the money/time/knowledge to handle my own web/dns/mail servers.

Actually, MacWorld will most definitely point out when an Apple product sucks.
Ironic, VPC can't run on the G5.
Most albums are only $9.99. If there's less than 10 tracks, it'll be less. Some albums are over 9.99, but they usually aren't $.99 per track.

Yea, but on on OS X, it's even easier. There's a "Save as PDF" button right in the print dialog.
;)
Probably helps that the display is actually a pdf
Nope. store.apple.com says "256 (bult-in)"
the limit is 1.256GB
Nope, apple is now soldering a 256MB chip onto the motherboard instead of a 128MB chip.

Cept that Windows didn't come out until 1985 ;)

would that firmware patch include the fiber optics? ;)
Only the instruction cache, not the data cache. But thats a moot point since we're comparing the C3's L2 cache to the P4's L1 cache.
Steps to take:
1) Buy old(er) G4 tower
2) Replace graphics card with said 8500Pro
3) Install hard drives
4) Theres no step 4!
Psssst. Apple is also (still) strong in education. What do you think the e in eMac stands for?
They changed the mouse too. The bottom used to say "Pro Mouse", now its only "Mouse". I think they got rid of the sensitivity adjustor too.

I bought 2 songs and an album on Monday. Tuesday morning I got an invoice listing them.
So it looks like they roll daily purchases up and then charge you.
Retail experience. The CEO of the Gap is also on the board.
100% of Iraqis voted. What's your point?
I've heard that they'd be AAC. I think that Apple knows that people like high-quality digital music. The default rip rate in iTunes is 160kbps.
Yes, but what if that track was of higher quality then the crap you get on Kazaa? What if you were guaranteed a fast download, a complete song, and no virii?
I think it's worth looking into at least.

Does anyone else find that picture highly disturbing?
